Ecclesiastes 4:8

JUB

NIV

8 It is the <em>man</em> who is alone, without a successor, who has neither son nor brother; yet <em>is there</em> no end of all his labour; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither <em>saith he</em>, For whom do I labour and bereave my soul of good? This <em>is</em> also vanity and sore travail.
8 There was a man all alone; he had neither son nor brother. There was no end to his toil, yet his eyes were not content with his wealth. “For whom am I toiling,” he asked, “and why am I depriving myself of enjoyment?” This too is meaningless— a miserable business!
